Before leaving South Africa we encounter heavy traffic, slow moving traffic.	Ramatsilosi's border post. A busy place - the day before, (Thursday), the vehicle register showed that only twenty two cars had crossed the border.	A view once across the border, typical of Southern Lesotho.
Pedestrians along the way.	Up, up, up we go - over the mountains to Sehlabathebe Nat Park.	A storm is brewing and we had some heavy rain; 4-wheel drive essential.
A view from the lodge of a feature called the 'knuckles'.	A hike to the top of the 'knuckles' takes about 5 hours, there and back.	Giant mushrooms. Did not know if they are edible; we decided not to try!

There were wild flowers everywhere....	The Lodge.	The botanists spent their time with their bottoms in the air.
A shepherd's shelter.	The archaeologists argue.	Another view of the shelter. Note another on the right

A grinding stone for maize (corn), or wheat.
